How much can I eat?

A typical serving is about 49 g, which delivers 8 mg of purines, about 2% of a normal day's purine budget.

Even a large serving stays well within a normal day's purine budget.

These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 8 mg here counts as roughly 2 mg toward your gout risk.

Flour Tortilla is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Low for gout (< 50 mg/100g).

Fructose confidence: medium (estimated)
0.1 g/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).

Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.

Good to know: Refined wheat flour product. The USDA & ODS-NIH Purine Database (Release 2.0, 2025) lists no tortilla but does list refined wheat flours (cake flour 15.7, white bread 12.2 mg/100g), all grade A; value set to the cake-flour figure. Confidence is low to flag the estimate.
